They never pay and you will continue to receive these incredibly well designed emails requesting the tracking number and telling you that the funds will be credited to your account in 3-5 days. They stole my 1975 Gibson Dove, and I have already found another forum member that was victimized and his J-29 was stolen.


The PayPal scam is an ongoing theme everywhere. If you have a buyer that wants to pay using PayPal always send them an invoice. Do not accept direct payment. You can check your PayPal account to confirm that payment has been received prior to shipment. Always include shipping, full value insurance and PayPal fees in your sales price.
